Chapter 1600 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
However, Eleanor never expected Andersâ so-called ambush would involve Hollyâs lifeless body. Everyone knew that Holly was Fenleyâs younger sister.
Now that Holly was dead, Fenley would undoubtedly take action, and everyone involved in the incident would face the consequences.
It wasnât only Dustin that would suffer. They would have to suffer with him. It wasnât until this moment that she realized Anders had used them. They were like pawns that could be discarded at any moment.
However, at this point, it was too late for regrets. All Eleanor could do now was to firmly hold her ground and try her best to extricate herself from the situation.
âAre you telling me this has nothing to do with you?â Dustin narrowed his eyes.
âThatâs right. We know nothing!â Eleanor immediately shook her head.
âThatâs right. Weâve been framed. Please donât misunderstand!â Elena echoed repeatedly.
âAlright, since you claim it has nothing to do with you, then tell me, who exactly was behind this? Who instructed you to do this?â Dustin countered.
âIâ¦â Eleanor paled and instinctively glanced at Elena. Elena avoided her gaze, looking guilty and unsure of how to respond.
âAre you not willing to tell me, or are you having trouble making up a story?â Dustinâs gaze was hostile.
âI gave you a chance, but you didnât take it. If thatâs how you want it, donât blame me for being ruthless.â
With that, Dustin suddenly grabbed Eleanorâs throat and lifted her over his head. Eleanor struggled to breathe, her face flushing red while the veins on her forehead bulged. Her entire being was overwhelmed with a fear of death, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
âDustin! Donât act recklessly! We-!â
Elena was about to do something about it and threaten Dustin when she felt her neck squeeze. Dustin had seized her by the throat with his other hand and lifted her up from her wheelchair.
âBoth of you deserve to die!â Dustin grabbed them both in his hands like they were nothing.
âStop it right there!â Right then, a furious roar erupted from the door. Following the noise, a group of martial artists dressed in formidable attire rushed into the room. Judging from their clothes, they were the Celestial Allianceâs elite fighters.
âYou bastard! Youâve got quite the nerve to start a scene at Grace Brothel. Are you tired of living?â a man with a crew cut who led the group yelled angrily.
âWho are you?â Dustin released his grip, letting the two women fall heavily to the ground.
âMy name is Allen Bosman. Iâm the Celestial Allianceâs attendant, in charge of Grace Brothel.
âAnyone who stirs up trouble here is disrespecting me and the Celestial Alliance!â Allen glared at them as he yelled.
âMr. Bosman, youâve arrived just in time. Weâve got a big problem at Grace Brothel!â At that moment, a lady with heavy makeup rushed down the flight of stairs, looking anxious.
âThereâs no need to worry, Madam Lynch. I just stopped this bastard from attacking someone,â Allen said, still oblivious to the situation.
âHe didnât just attack someone, he killed them!â
Madam Lynch pointed at Dustin and uttered with a trembling voice, âH- He⦠He just killed Holly!
âWhat? Holly is dead?â Allen was shocked and stood there in stunned silence.
He had only thought there was a disturbance, not a murder case. Not to mention, Holly had been the victim. She was an important member of the Celestial Alliance and held a higher position than he did.
With her sudden death, it was likely to send shockwaves across the Celestial Alliance!
